Next Monday night, you can either go to hear Peter Thiel talk about the Anti-Christ in downtown Nashville - or you can walk down the street to the Public Library to hear @bradleyonishi.bsky.social and I talk about Thiel - and Brad’s new book. There are just a few tickets left.

1️⃣ Alaska One of most important states this fall, no doubt: —Senate seat could flip, determine majority. —Dems hope to flip governorship, too. —An Indy is making a bid for US House. —Measure to repeal ranked-choice voting (again). —Bipartisan coalition seeks to keep legislature.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

The report conflicts with the authorities’ initial account, which said Tyrin Johnson had been shot in the chest.

This is already standard sentiment among the theobros in Doug Wilson’s extended universe. They see the presence of South Asian Hindus and Muslims as a sign of judgment on the USA. Expulsion is to them the only option.

Newsom is probably succeeding in securing the support of moneyed interests for the 2028 primary but he's ignoring the part where he's going to need people to actually vote for him.

As a former megachurch youth pastor I can tell you that Hegseth is running the military like a megachurch youth pastor, which as a former megachurch youth pastor I can tell you is a bad idea.
